Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-100 Severity: minor Tags: patch Attached is a patch which enables to provide a environment variable MAILCMD which will be called instead of the hardcoded /usr/lib/sendmail. This enables one to post-process cron mails using a specific script which filters the output of the cronjob.
